Brief summary

The purpose of this image acquisition study is to compare, in a Reader Study, the performance of Tomosynthesis (3D) to (2D FFDM) conventional images in an enriched retrospective reader study. Synthetic 2D images, generated from the tomosynthesis image, will be available to the readers to provide an over view of the anatomy similar to a scout view in CT imaging and to determine whether the 3-D images with the synthesized 2D overview are non-inferior to the 2-D images alone as determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) area under the curve.

Interventions

DEVICEHologic Selenia Dimensions Digital Breast Tomosynthesis System

Subjects are exposed to the same number of investigational images collected on the investigational device (Selenia Dimensions Full Field Digital Mammography System). Subject enrollment occurs at the time subjects are being imaged for their standard of care mammographic work up (either screening mammogram or scheduled biopsy). All subjects undergoing a biopsy procedure will be imaged on the investigational device prior to their procedure.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Analysis of ROC Performance in Subjects With Dense BreastsAt time of examThe radiologist's POM case based score will be used to generate the 2D FFDM and 3DS ROC curves for women with dense breasts (defined as BIRADS density score of 3 or 4). Endpoint Analysis - A multi-reader, multi-case ROC analysis will be used to compare 3DS to 2D FFDM. The areas under the curve (AUC) will be used to compare ROC performance. 3DS will be considered non-inferior to 2D FFDM if the lower limit one-sided 95% CI for the difference in AUCs (3DS minus 2D FFDM) is greater than -0.05. A difference of 0.05 is considered a clinically significant difference.

Subjects Undergoing Breast Cancer Screening
The study population included both women undergoing routing annual mammography imaging and women undergoing a previously scheduled breast biopsy. Subjects are exposed to the same number of investigational images collected on the investigational device (Selenia Dimensions Full Field Digital Mammography System). Subject enrollment occurs at the time subjects are being imaged for their standard of care mammographic work up (either screening mammogram or scheduled biopsy). All subjects undergoing a biopsy procedure will be imaged on the investigational device prior to their procedure.
